loaded gun to school. >> and sandwiched between storm systems. cool conditions as we get into your friday and then a good-looking weekend. more rain on the way sunday and monday. lots to go over your microclimate forecast in just moments. and we have crashes on each side of the bay bridge. one on the east shore freeway. we'll talk about the slowing for both coming up. and let's look at the south bay this morning starting out a nice thursday. it's october 16th. this is "today in the bay." good thursday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. new this morning, police are looking for a shooter of a 12-year-old boy that happened just before 9:00 last night near the intersection of weldon

street. there's no word on the boy's condition at this hour. by the time the deputies got there, the shooter was gone. it's unclear if the boy was the intended target or he just got hit by a stray bullet. now to a developing story, the second dallas nurse that contracted ebola in the u.s. is in atlanta this morning getting treated from a staff with more experience from the ebola virus. kris sanchez is joining us with concerns about what she did and who she was exposed to in the last few days. she took a flight, among other things. >> yes. and we are getting more insider information from within that hospital from a nurse who cared for nina pham, the first nurse infected at texas presbyterian hospital. we'll begin with amber vinson boarding a flight headed to dallas on monday.

that's a fright the cdc director says she never should have taken. but it's been reported that she called the cdc and asked if it was okay to board the flight and they gave her the okay because her flight was under the 101.5 risk. the cdc never told the texas presbyterian nurses to restrict their travel. now, we just learned several cleveland nurses on the flight with vinson are now on paid leave for monitoring. >> i directed the cdc that as soon as someone is diagnosed with ebola, we want a rapid response team, a s.w.a.t. team, essentially, from the cdc to be on the ground as quickly as possible. >> reporter: so here's how ebola precautions could affect you or folks you know. you may have your temperature

checked if you're traveling to or from atlanta, washington, chicago, and newark. some u.s. soldiers are deploying to africa. they are learning how to use protective gear. meanwhile, nurses are asking the president to use his executive privilege to make sure that they get the right equipment and training. now, we mentioned one of the nurses from texas presbyterian who did not care for patient thomas duncan but cared for their colleague nina pham that potentially samples were mishandled by the hospital and the hospital had never talked about ebola before duncan arrived and they only offered a voluntary training seminar. her interview will be on the "today" show and we'll go live to the press conference in cleveland. four nurses on board with that flight with amber vinson are on

paid leave. we have extensive coverage of the ebola outbreak on our website, nbcbayarea.com. there you can find information about how the virus spreads and get the latest updates on the cases right here in the u.s. police are being looking for a man who groped two children shopping with their parents in san leandro. this is the man that investigators are looking for. they say the first victim was at a walmart with her family this week when a man grabbed her from behind. she screamed and ran off. about 15 minutes later, the same thing happened to another girl at a target store down the street. police believe the same man is responsible for both attacks. a southern california mother could be going to jail after her teenage son brought a loaded gun to school. she was charged yesterday with failing to safely secure a weapon at home. her 17-year-old son took a gun and ammunition to his van nuys high school after having an argument with another student. investigators found four

unlocked weapons at the home. this is the first of it is kind prosecution in california's history. happening today, it's time to duck and cover. it's all part of this year's great california shakeout. bob redell is live this morning where students will take part in a drill later this morning, a very good reminder for all of us, bob. >> reporter: well, especially considering tomorrow being the 25th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake, laura. this is going to take place not only here at the tech but locations throughout the state and throughout the world, for that matter. an estimated 9 million californians, mostly students, will participate. 25 million total worldwide. it's considered to be the largest earthquake drill. so today at 10:16, participants will drop and cover in anticipation of the real deal. the timing couldn't be more appropriate. the loma prieta quake caused

billions of dollars in damage and, more importantly, killed 63 people here in the bay area. now, those are deaths that might have been avoided if the people had some sort of an advanced warning and that brings me to my next point. the meeting that went on yesterday at san francisco city hall, they had representatives from b.a.r.t., sm general and they are talking about the early warning system. governor brown signed the bill into law but it's been yet to be put in place because of lack of funding. what's odd, the early-warning systems are in widespread use in other countries but not here in california. even though that very technology was developed here in this state. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay". >> thanks so much, bob. got to be prepared. we have a special section on our website dedicated to the loma prieta earthquake.

click on "remembering loma prieta" in the left-hand corner. a major disaster strikes and lots of people turn to facebook to track down their loved ones. the social media site has launched safety check. that's a tool that allows your facebook friends to know that you are safe and check on others in the impacted area. here is how the tool works. if a natural disaster strikes your area, you'll get a facebook notification asking if you're safe. good idea to keep people in the loop. >> that's true. if something big happens, the phone lines are jammed. i remember in loma prieta, you couldn't get through for a lot of concerned family members. >> it's a great tool to reach people now. it's 5:07. >> christina has our forecast. you've got to be ready. the big one is coming. >> and you know what is good about facebook and twitter, they

verify people. we appreciate the fact that they are doing that more and more as well. temperatures this morning are mostly in the 40s and 50s. i have to tell you, we have a really nice day coming your way. it's going to be a little cloudy and damp to start with. we have coastal drizzle. temperatures are going to be really comfortable. mild today with a mix of sun and clouds. gradually becoming sunnier throughout the first part of the day and then the clouds roll right back in towards this evening with another storm system getting its act together and starting to barrel towards the bay area. 76 for the south bay, 73 on the peninsula as we're sandwiched between two systems, temps nice and comfortable. 66 in san francisco for the final day of dream force and, of course, the giants are back at it as of this evening. now, we do have rain on the way as we get into late friday and saturday. i'll show you the timing of the next two systems in my next report. stick around for that, if you

can. if not, here's mike to help you get out the front door. happy thursday, mike. >> happy thursday, christina. dream force ends but the closure does not. the closure continues through the weekend. over here heading into the city, a smooth and easy drive into the south bridge. the map sensors show an easy, smooth drive for all of these routes. south of the bridge, we had southbound 880 at 16th with a crash blocking a lane. it just cleared. it's sorting itself out. it's all heading south down towards the bay bridge. off the upper east shore freeway, we still have reports of a left lane blocked and clearing by the time you get to the merge of 580 and golden gate. in the tri-valley, peninsula, east bay and south bay, all moving according to your typical

schedule. palo alto has a volume of traffic really easy and light. east bay, southbound 880 through fremont and past the truck scale, there you go. easy drive into the south bay. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. it's 5:10 on your thursday. apple is prepared to make a big announcement but somebody let the proverbial cat out of the bag. and could they win here at home? that's the question that will be answered at at&t park later toont. i'm stephanie chuang with a look at the big game. plus, why the big plunge on wall street is not so bad if you're looking to are a mortgage. it's never been easier to find a dentist.

watch. dentist. at 1-800-dentist, we've helped over 8 million people find that right dentist. we can do the same for you. so don't put it off. call 1-800-dentist. welcome back. let's take a peak outside of

downtown san jose on this thursday morning. temperatures are cooling off a little bit this week. we're going to check in with christina momentarily. first, the giants just one win away now from a return trip to the world series. they take on the st. louis cardinals tonight at at&t park in game 5 of the nlcs. stephanie chuang is joining us. this was another close came decided by a couple of plays again. >> reporter: that's right. good morning to you, sam. we were talking on monday for game three about how it seemed like a tall order for the giants to clench with three games here in a row. here we are with game five tonight and that's exactly what could happen. the celebration from inside the park could be heard for blocks. the crowd so excited, the noise even drowning out the fireworks launched in celebration of the 6-4 win. they overcame a rocky start.

the cardinals leading early 4-1 thanks a lot to colton. yesterday he hit a double and a home run early in the game. while the giants didn't necessarily make big hits, they did make big plays, taking game four to the delight of fans around the world. >> we came all the way from australia to see these guys! unbelievable! >> reporter: it's madison bumgarner who will take to the field. tonight the game starts at 5:00 here at at&t park. in about half an hour, how fans got pretty nice seats without paying for them.

live from at&t park, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay". apple has yet another unveiling today. scott mcgrew is joining us. >> it's been far too long but of course it hasn't so they get it. it's been just 37 days since the last apple announcement and the iphone 6. today we hear about new ipads. yesterday, apple published a new guide to its operating system and included shots of the new ipads inadvertently. so we can confidently say, there will be new ipads. here's live pictures of the apple campus and a lone security guard. he's hiding behind one of those posts now. the company is going to ask the reporters to come to the campus theater there this morning at 10:00. at the same time, the director of the fbi will be criticizing apple and google. director james comey says that

he is critical about the decision to encrypt data. apple wants to keep the data safe and the fbi says it needs to see those secrets, with a warrant, of course, in order to keep you safe. there is a push by some in congress for a federally mandated back door into your phone. a way for the government to bypass it if the secret courts say they should. > well, what a day wednesday for the market. kate rogers is joining us live from cnbc. good morning, kate. >> no pressure, right? a wild day on wednesday with the dow falling as much as 460 points early on following disappointing economic reports on retail sales and inflation and continued worries about slowing growth in europe and china as well as health headlines on ebola in the u.s. stocks managed to cut their losses late in the day. we get the report on unemployment, manufacturing and housing and earnings from

goldman sachs. delta airlines and google. the cow closing to 16,141. the nasdaq down 11 to 42.15. netflix is a big stock to watch. shares fell 25% in after-hours trading on wednesday and netflix adding fewer customers in the recent quarter disappointing investors. that could be because competition is heating up. hbo is set to launch its own streaming service next year. back to you. >> kate, thank you very much. so what's the upside for retirement and college funds going down the drain snl mortgage rates are falling. it's got to go somewhere else. it certainly doesn't go into commodities because they are horrible right now. so it goes to the safest place money can find and that is uncle sam. it goes into bonds. and when a lot of money goes into bonds, the yield goes down and so, too, do mortgage rates.

a lot of people who were very close to locking in something may wait a couple more days yet. >> oh yeah, definitely. >> it sounds great but then you can't afford the house because your money has gone down the tubes. >> you eat mac and cheese and cereal. >> we're all wearing purple for a reason today. >> it's spirit day. nbc universal is saluting anti-bullying against gay and the lesbian and transgender community. so 5:18 now. let's get a check of what is going on. we know that we got through one weather system. vongfong. >> vongfong. you know what, though, join us, join us in solidarity. we ask you to also wear purple. you're going to see all of your favorite "today" show anchors

rocking the purple. this is definitely a big, important cause to this company. yeah, it's something we want to bring attention to. it's 5:18. let's bring attention to your forecast. it's going to be nice. 66 degrees in san jose. come back to me now. come back to me now. 54 degrees in livermore. i have important things to tell you about. i want to tell you about first and foremost this front draped to our north. it's going to create some weather for us today. it's going to be interesting to see these changes and you can see the clouds coming in from the pacific that will continue to be the case. high and mid-level clouds streaming in from the storm system well to our north. as we get into the afternoon, temperatures are going to stay nice and cool because of that limited sunshine and clouds moving in all day long. 76 degrees for the south bay with a mix of sun and clouds for you. 69, a little overcast. you're going to hit 66 in san francisco for the final day of dream force. thanks, everybody, for coming out to that, especially if you

donated a can. we always want to see the bay area this time of year getting closer to the holidays. all right. here's our next weather maker. it moves in as we head through friday at 2:00. up in the north bay, this guy not looking too impressive in terms of rainfall totals. it kind of falls apart overnight friday. we may pick up a tenth of an inch in the south bay but i'm not expecting much south of the golden gate bridge. however, this next one is being looking more promising. as we head through early monday until monday afternoon, another round of rain and then the pattern stays nice and cool, jet stream stays south and we'll keep the rain chance going all the way through the end of next week. kind of an interesting change in our pattern and we're certainly happy about it. let's check on the drive. that's always changing, especially at this time. hi, mike. >> hi, christina. we're picking up a little volume and visibility is holding great. we'll look at the maps and anywhere north of the golden gate bridge as well. an easy flow of traffic into the city from the peninsula, 101 and

vermont street, reports of a fire. we're tracking that as well. westbound 880, a couple more minutes of slowing. chp says a tow truck is there and no major injuries. just a few minutes until they clear. that's slowing heading towards the golden gate field area. no problems for the south bay or east bay. trip cal build for the tri-valley. over here crossing the san mateo bridge near the foster city drive, easy drive and light volume. hayward, cameras on both sides of the bay, you can see a nice drive there. with that, back to you. >> thank you, mike. time right now, 5:21. trick-or-treating is an important halloween tradition. >> very. but one city says it's not as important as football. coming up, how the city council is making changes on the calendar to fit it all in.

it's 5:24 on your thursday. a town in new mexico will not be trick-or-treating on halloween. why, you ask? they cdecided to move trick-or-treating the day after halloween. it's all because the city's high school has a football game that night. the city's mayor says people won't be forced to choose where to go that evening. others are happy because it breaks away from halloween tradition. >> well, they are trying to force you to choose. >> correct. they are saying there is no choice here. you go to the football game on the 31st. >> you can't change halloween. >> you can change weather patterns, or at least someone out there does. christina, good morning. >> good morning. it's not an exact science.

it is not an exact science so don't hate the messenger. we have a great looking forecast for this morning. rain continues to stay in the forecast as we head throughout the next five days. two more storm systems so keep that in mind. today, a nice transition day. 53 degrees in oakland, a mild start with sun and clouds. an overcast start in berkeley. yeah, looking pretty good with sunshine. and then some wind for the giants' game. we'll let you know how that could become a factor. first, though, want to check your drive with mike inouye. these folks are on 101 north through san jose. easy look at your commute. san jose on the map as well as the rest of the bay. nothing unusual. not a lot of yellow. that would be the slowing drive. we have red and yellow and orange here at the altamont pass. near livermore, a slight build towards the dublin interchange. no drama to the bay bridge except for a crash here.

crews on the scene should be clearing in just a few, slowing through richmond but the bay bridge toll plaza has light traffic. >> sounds good. time right now is 5:26. coming up next -- >> health officials are looking for more than 100 people who may have come into contact with a dallas woman with ebola. what you need to know, ahead. plus, preparing for the worst. children across the state of california will be participating in the largest earthquake drill in the world. and taking a live look outside at san francisco this morning, finally feeling fall in the air. not bad. could get used to it. we'll see what's in store for the forecast. a live look at the bay bridge as well. it's 5:26.

cleared to fly.

why the cdc allowed the texas nurse who treated an ebola patient to get on a plane with dozens of other people. and new overnight, a 12-year-old with a bullet wound rushed onto a helicopter and to the hospital. now investigators are looking for the shooter. and we pick up more than an inch of rain in point reyes yesterday. now we stay nice and cool for the weekend another round of rain for monday. lots going on with your changing forecast. and lots of folks going over the bay bridge as well but getting there could be an issue. better news for the east shore freeway means not so good news for the bay bridge toll plaza. we'll explain that coming up. first, a live look outside to a location that needs no introduction but we'll give you one anyway. that's, of course, at&t park where the giants will be taking on the st. louis cardinals looking to close out the ncls

tonig tonight. today is october 16th, you're watching "today in the bay". good thursday morning to you. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. increased security will be taking place at airports after the second health care worker flew on a plane, this even though she had a low-grade fever at the time. cdc says she should not have flown but that's not what the cdc told her. the frontier airlines plane that she flew on is grounded in denver for extra cleaners. the crew members are on paid leave for 21 days. that's the incubation period for ebola. health officials are trying to

contact the 130 passengers on that flight with vinson. kris sanchez will have more on the scramble to contain this virus and tracie potts is live in washington, d.c., where they will talk about if there is handle on the outbreak. investigators are looking for whoever shot a 12-year-old boy near the intersection of weldon street in bay point. when deputies arrived, they found a 12-year-old with a gunshot wound. a helicopter flew that boy to a hospital in oakland. no word on his condition at this hour. bay area detectives are looking for a man who groped two young girls inside of a crowded store. the first victim was at a san leandro walmart store with her family. 15 minutes later, the same thing happened at a target right down the street. police believe the same man is responsible for both of those attacks. a possible plea deal may be worked out this morning in the

case of a bay area teen who had his skirt set on fire onboard a transit bus. the oakland teen is set to enter a plea bargain. he was set with a hate crime after setting the skirt on fire last november. deals of the plea deal is not yet known. bob redell is joining us live where students will be taking part in an earthquake drill. this comes the day before the 25th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. mostly students will be participating in the great shakeout. it's the world's largest earthquake drill. at 10:16 this morning today, an

expected 9 million californians will drop, cover, and hold on as part of the great shakeout, a drill that began in '08. when you add in everyone taking part worldwide, it's 25 million participants. if you recall, loma prieta caused billions of dollars of damage in the bay area and unfortunately, and more importantly, it killed 63 people. those are deaths that might have been avoided if people had some sort of an advanced warning, which is why you had this meeting yesterday. representatives from b.a.r.t., sf general as well as government leaders gathered to get a status on the statewide early-warning system for earthquakes. now, governor brown has signed it into law but it's been yet to put into place because of funding. it's in widespread use in other

countries but not here in california, even though that very technology was developed here in this state. >> if it can go to other countries like mexico and japan, it's the same technology that's been in effect and already saving people's lives. >> so we're catching up to this technology? >> it's a matter of california sort of catching up to other countries but i believe we'll surpass them pretty soon. >> reporter: for the past couple of years, b.a.r.t. has been beta testing the early-warning system. it's found that a ten-second warning is enough to bring a 30-mile-an-hour train to a full stop and prevent a derailment. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell "today in the bay". >> ten seconds doesn't sound like a long time but when somebody is operating in a surgery room or driving a train, that could make all of the difference in the world. >> yes. we know the big one is coming, we just don't know. so any warning would be nice. we have fair warning about the forecast, though, with

christina loren around. >> we have great technology here at nbc bay area that enables us to track these storm systems 10 to 16 days out. the next one is not looking all that impressive. 58 in san francisco and 57 in san carlos. but here is the story. at this time last year, we didn't see any signs of rain. so i can tell you right now, the fact that we even have rain chances going at this point is a good saying and we're doing okay as far as our average rainfall totals go because of the chopper storm that we had less than 12 days ago. this is what we're working with right now. we have the front draped right over the bay area and you can see high and mid-level clouds streaming right over us. that's going to be the story for us today. this is going to paint a spectacular sunrise. we have cameras all across the beautiful bay area. you can see where it happens from the vantage points that we have for you. 66 degrees in san francisco.

it's 69 degrees in the east shore and 70 degrees for the peninsula. if you want to head to tahoe, warning for drivers up there, friday friday, a little bit of rainfall. a mix of rain and snow at 6,000 feet and 65 degrees. that's a cool, cool temperature for tahoe but they are hitting their peak foliage. we'll tell you what else is going on across the bay area. if you're staying local, including the half moon bay pumpkin forecast and laura garcia-cannon making an appearance. right now, though, mike inouye, drivers have got to get to work. >> that's right, christina. bay bridge toll plaza, where people are paying for cash there's a backup. i'm watching the east shore freeway west 80 for more slowing. you're going to see more traffic because the good news is they

have cleared all hans. no major injuries. they cleared all of the lanes but that will let loose everybody that slowed down out of richmond and san pablo down into golden gate field. the rest of the bay looks pretty typical, according to schedule. san mateo and dunn barton bridges, no surprises. south 680 starting to see more traffic through pleasanton and sunol. a live look shows you 580 past the truck scale. also an easy flow as well. san jose represented by our shot here at 680, picking up the traffic slow. this specific shot is where we see the first burst of traffic heading over the next ten minutes and then it eases up and kicks in again at 6:30. back to you. >> moving on right on schedule here. it's 5:37 on your thursday. the director of the cdc is getting ready to testify on capitol hill about ebola

concerns. what he did and did not know, coming up next.

can't say thank you enough. you have made my life special by being apart of it. (everyone) cheers! glad you made it buddy. thanks for inviting me. thanks again my friends. for everything, for all your help. through all life's milestones, our trusted advisors are with you every step of the way. congratulations! thanks for helping me plan for my retirement. you should come celebrate with us. i'd be honored. plan for your goals with advisors you know and trust. so you can celebrate today and feel confident about tomorrow. chase. so you can.

welcome back, everyone. if you're just joining us, a live look outside overlooking san francisco. could it have a little orange hue for the giants? they are this close into making it into the world series. that live coverage in a few minutes. it's 5:40 right now. following another developing story this morning, the second nurse to test positive for the ebola virus is in the u.s. now at a hospital in atlanta receiving special treatment. it comes as another nurse at the hospital is at the center of the outbreak is speaking out. kris sanchez is joining us. she says the hospital was not

prepared to handle ebola. >> she said they were not prepared when thomas duncan walked in and a couple weeks later when one of their own came down with symptoms. texas presbyterian nurse briana aguirre says there was chaos and two weeks later as they shared for nina pham, they were not prepared. briana spoke with matt lauer and said that thomas duncan was with several patients for three hours and it was hours before the cdc was contacted and the hospital's own specialists didn't know what to do and nina pham was wearing layered protection but the swath of her neck exposed. when she asked for more guidance and never got it. the mother of two is speaking

via skype. if she develops symptoms, she doesn't want to go to texas presbyterian where she has worked for three years. >> knowing what i know, i would do everything to refuse going there. i would feel at risk going there. if i don't have ebola, i may contract it there, is how i actually feel and i would do everything to refuse to go there. >> it's a compelling interview that you can watch in full coming up today at 7:00 on the "today" show. meanwhile, the second infected nurse amber vinson is getting treatment today. 13 other nurses from the cleveland area who traveled with amber vinson from cleveland to dallas are on paid leave and they are being monitored. meanwhile, for more u.s. airports are starting to monitor people. travelers for fever today. and the cdc will appear before congress to answer some

questions. "today in the bay"'s tracie potts is live with some of that testimony. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the head of the clinical division for that texas hospital is testifying today via video conference, we believe. but as he said in his advanced testimony, i've been listening to it this morning, he cannot be here in person. dr. daniel varga apologizes saying mistakes were made in thomas duncan but they have learned from that and one of the lessons they've learned is there's a big difference in telling their nurses how to fight ebola and in training. the hospital is responding with a point by point response about some of the allegations that she and other nurses have made. for example, the fact that their necks were exposed when they were using protective equipment. they are saying here that they were told to pinch and tape those together and that more

equipment was ordered when some of it came it didn't fit properly. but that they were using what the cdc recommended at the time but that the cdc recommendations were changing throughout the process and they had to keep changing along with it. so a couple of different stories here. bottom line, there are now three people connected to that hospital, thomas duncan and the two nurses, who have been diagnosed with ebola and the cdc is also having to answer a lot of questions. they will be at the hearing today on capitol hill about whether or not they are on top of this. kris? >> thank you very much, tracie. we are also monitoring the hearings in washington as well as the press conference that is scheduled for 6:30 this morning out of the cleveland area where officials will talk about the 13 nurses who traveled with amber vinson from dallas to cleveland who are now on paid leave while they are being monitored for symptoms. and, of course, hospitals here in the bay area and across the country wondering, could this happen to us next?

>> preparation is under way. thank you, kris. meanwhile, despite assurances from the u.s. government, people in the bay area are heading to medical supply stores to get medical gear that could ward off ebola. masks are $65 for a box of 35. gloves are flying off the shelves, too. some people say they wear two pair at once for added safety. customers have been asking about protective gowns as well. the store owner has not seen anything like this since the sars outbreak in 2003 when demand completely outstripped supply. >> we literally had done something called ration, which was unheard of. if people wanted to buy the boxes, we had to refuse it because we had too many people coming in eight quantities were very limited and i hope we don't have to do the same thing this time. >> amazing that they might have to be rationing out medical supplies. experts say while protective gear can be helpful, the chance

of coming into contact with someone with ebola are very, very slim. we have extensive coverage of the ebola outbreak on our website, nbcbayarea.com. get the latest updates on the cases right here in the united states. it's 5:46 right now. christina christina is joining us on the set. a lot going on lately. >> a lot going on. and you have an event going on this weekend. >> i do. >> why don't you tell them about it. >> it's a buddy walk. it brings awareness and great fun to silicon valley group that helps kids with down syndrome. it's at lake cunningham this saturday at 10:00. it will be fun. >> first certified zumba instructor leading zumba down there. what a beautiful day. >> how do you know all of these details? >> i like to do my research. we investigate here, sam. can i reality check him any more this morning?

it's 5:46. laura, we can, can't we? >> of course. >> if you want to head out there and take part in this fantastic event, saturday in the south bay is going to be hard to beat. lake cunningham park, 10:00 to 2:00. the weather is going to be nice, upper 60s to low 70s. so similar to what we're expecting for today. temperatures are going to be nice. that's another transition day where we have more rain on the way. temps staying nice and cool. we don't have any heat in the forecast for a while. 58 degrees for san francisco. the story of the day, mild with sun and clouds and comfortable temperatures. mostly in the upper 60s to low 70s. 74 degrees in the north bay. san francisco is at 66 degrees. east shore at 69. we're looking good to see more of the same temperaturewise all the way through the weekend with more rain arriving at about 2:00 tomorrow. and this system kind of brushed the coastline and then fell apart. i'm looking at the different

models and what's interesting, we have the warm ocean currents offshore here. we're trying to investigate whether or not that's impacting the way that the storms are coming into the bay area and helping them fall apart. that's one of the things that we're looking into. of course, high interest when it comes to the drought. that's not other only chance of rain as we head throughout monday morning when we meet back here. this one is going to provide pretty decent rainfall totals. hopefully it will slow down and stall out a bit. if it sits on top of the north bay for several hours, we could be talking an inch or an inch and a half of rain. it's going to depend on how fast that sweeps through here. you can see the five-day forecast. dry today, showers tomorrow, same thing for saturday and sunday and then you break that umbrella out for monday. i think drivers are starting to get used to the fact that we have debris out there. there's leaves on the road. things are ink cchanging out th. your commute is stacking up.

mike, i know you get mad when i say that. >> i don't care. you can call that what you want. there is a wait at the bay bridge. traffic is slowing all the way to the bay bridge. metering lights are on. as we look at the map, the approach, a smooth drive coming through the maze. as the earlier crash west 880 cleared and the commute from the upper east shore, we have a build past golden gate field. now looking at the rest of the bay, a smoother drive through the tri-valley. no real slowing through sunol. the volume will continue to increase there. the rest of the approach, nice route through san jose. let's get a live look and show you the build for that area. here, no drama. a little bit of slowing and the view of the golden gate bridge, a nice drive across from the north bay and into the city as

well. back to you. >> sounds great. >> still looking for the golden gate bridge. it's 5:49 on your thursday. one win away. giants are on the brink of going to another world series. we don't want to jinx them but why they really could veahave a chance. at 1-800-dentist, we're about one thing.

well, we are in it deep this morning. the giants are just one game away from a return to the world series. they lead the cardinals 3 games to 1 in the ncls. stephanie chuang is joining us live at the at&t park.

they keep finding a way to win. this has been another amazing run. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. good morning to you, sam. the giants are on the verge of clenching the pennant here at home. i want to give you a vantage point from the sweet seats here. i checked here and you could be here again for 700 bucks. some fans who did not get the actual tickets, they got pretty creative. check out this video. of course, there's the usual spot on the water and fans are getting creative outside of the park. one fan standing on an orange bucket. and the fence is another popular view inside. >> it's pretty cool. you can see the home plate and first and second and third. i can see everything except for a pop up or a home run but that's all right. >> reporter: giants fans saw the

team overcoming a tough start. the cardinals were leading 4-1. thanks a lot to colton who a home run early in the game yesterday. in the end, taking game four, 6-4. so now a deficit for the st. louis cardinals, 3-1. but they will now have to do what the giants did two years ago. the giants overcame a 3-1 deficit against the cardinals. this time we're not hoping for that kind of history to repeat itself. >> we're not going to let that enter our frame of thought. thank you so much, stephanie. >> wipe it out right now. well, from the giants to the bad news bears, scott mccrew, they are crawling with them. >> things don't look a lot better this morning. dow had its worse intraday

plunge in years. it recovered 140 on the chose. you can attribute to ebola, europe, general fear. either way, money fled out of stocks. google reports netflix, raising the price for new subscribers drove away potential new subscribers. the number of people signing up for netflix for the first time was not nearly as high as the company had hoped or predicted. and hbo shocked the world by saying they will start streaming over the internet even if you don't have cable. that's netflix's turf. here is reed hastings talking about that. >> hbo, what a great company and great content.

it's great. >> it's great, he says. netflix ceo once famously predicted that netflix needs to become more like hbo and hbo needed to become a whole lot more like netflix. that is exactly what is happening. >> maybe netflix needs to turn out a little more "orange is the new black" and we don't have to wait so long. >> it's survival of the fittest. thank you very much, scott. 5:56 right now on your thursday morning. >> that's right. time to check your forecast right now. a lot of people are excited. fall is in the air. make that pumpkin soup. >> orange is in the new black in this area. i'm surprised that is one of your favorite shows. >> it's a little edgy. >> i like it, too. 73 degrees on the peninsula and 66 in san francisco, home of the giants.

looking good to get into that world series. weather will likely impact that game today. i'm going to show you my analysis coming up. so stick around for that. that's right. all things giants right here on nbc bay area as we get into the 6:00 hour. back to you, sam and laura. >> we like it. >> inspiring words. thank you very much. oscar pistorius is back in court for sentencing. we'll have the latest from inside the courtroom coming up. and we continue to get new details of the latest nurse to get ebola. a live report coming up next. plus, police need your help finding the man accused of groping two young girls at two different east bay stores.

mmmmm.

ring ring! ring ring! progresso. you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well, vegetables... shhhhh! ...taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!? no, soup! oh, soup! loaded with vegetables. packed with taste. and now try new progresso chili. slow-simmered, homemade taste. right now at 6:00, a 12-year-old shot in the east bay. >> plus, allowed to fly,

symptoms of ebola. >> and duck and cover. the statewide drill that will prepare us for the next big quake. >> we have another storm on the way. not today. cool temperatures. rain moves in as we get into friday. another round for the weekend but i can still get you outdoors without having to dodge showers. the full forecast moments away. >> a smoother drive for most of the folks expecting a tri-valley slow down. it may put a snag into your commute into the city. >> this is thursday, october 16th. this is "today in the bay." a good thursday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. right now,
